Tremors Page #4

They come up from

underneath the ground

and they grab you.

They sense the

slightest vibration

through the ground.

Even footsteps.

That's how they hunt.

Hey, so like we don't

vibrate, right?

Maybe they won't even

come through here.

Maybe they'll

leave us alone!

Chain saw.

That's what l'll use.

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Wake up!

Now, look!

You see, they're

headed right for us.

Look, they trapped

Edgar here.

Grabbed old Fred

right here.

Nailed those two poor

suckers on the road,

and the doctor's place

is right here!

Now this valley is just

one long smorgasbord.

We have got to get out.

l'm gonna

go get Mindy.

Oh, she's okay.

l saw her playing

down the street.

That's what l like,

"Graboids"!

That's it, graboids!

Jesus, Walter.

We're gonna be sorry

if we don't give it a name.

Okay, Val, you say

let's get out of here.

So where are we

supposed to go?

Well, Rhonda's got

an idea about that.

Yeah, see, they move

very easily through the

Pleistocene alluvials.

The dirt.

The loose soil

that covers

the valley floor.

But they can't

move through rock.

So l think we

should head west

to the mountains.

She means up

the old jeep trail.

lf those mountains

are solid granite,

we'd be safe there.

And we could hike along them

all the way to Bixby if we. . .

l scared you, didn't l?

You little ass wipe.

You don't knock it off,

you're gonna be

shitting this basketball.

Pardon my French.

Mindy!

lt's gonna take us

days to get back with help

with Nestor.

We're not gonna

leave you alone.

Damn it!

l'm gonna kick his ass!

l'm gonna help you.

Melvin !

Where is that

little sh*t stain?

Melvin, get your. . .

Get inside!

Get inside!

Run ! Come on !

Come on, get in !

Jesus Christ, Walter,

you got a gun?

No! What are we gonna do?

Be quiet, quiet, quiet!

Where is he?

Now remember,

no noise, no vibrations.

Oh, no, Mindy.

Stop, stop.

Mindy, get off

the pogo stick.

Mindy!

Get her, Val !

Mindy, come back!

Mindy!

Oh !

Mindy.

Quiet. Quiet.

Don't move.

Mindy, get back.

Get back.

Run !

Get in the house!

We gotta get him off.

lt'll suck that truck down.

Go back for Christ's sake!

Jesus, here comes

another one!

Run ! Come on ! Come on !

Get out of your pants!

Look out!

Run !

Run ! Don't look back.

Come on ! Come on !

Sorry.

Rhonda, here.

Oh, thank you.

So, what are

we gonna do?

You know, how long

till they go away?

They got

the patience of Job.

They sit and goddamn wait

till they hear something

that sounds like lunch.

We gotta have a plan.

l got a plan.

You and Val

drive the truck

up to the mountain,

walk to Bixby,

get some help.

Walter, those

scumsuckers

ate our radials.

Well, you can

take my truck.

No, we need a major

four-wheel drive

just to get up

that jeep trail.

That trail's

all messed up.

Turn it off.

Pull it back.

Pull it back.

l got it.

Give me your hand !

Give me your hand !

Son of a b*tch.

Son of a b*tch !

Come on, let's go!

The roof!

Come on !

Jump, Rho!

You can do it!

No, l can't! l can't!

Rhonda! Don't stop.

Keep moving !

Oh, my God.

Hey!

You okay?

Hey, what's going on?

Where are you guys?

What's up, man?

What the hell are

you doing up there?

Melvin, shut

the hell up.

Get up on your roof.

No way!

Nestor?

Nancy, get up

on your roofs.

Up on your roofs!

They come through

the floor!

l don't know.

l can't believe it.

No tracks.

No sign. No spoor.

You'd think after

eating all those sheep

they'd have to

take a dump someplace.

Yeah. l don't

understand it.

Yo, Walter.

This is Burt. Come back.

Walter? Anybody copy?

l'm waiting.

Walter, you there?

Come back!

Okay, l got it.

Yo, who's minding the store,

for God's sake?

Burt, listen.

We found out what's

been killing people.

Say "over."

Over.

Negative copy

on that, Walter.

Check your frequency.

l'm on 22. Come back.

Burt, can you

hear me now? Over.

Val, is that you?

What're you doing

back already?

Hey, Burt,

something real weird

is going on over there.

They're up on

top of the roof.

Hey, l think they're

going for Burt's.

Oh, man,

they're going !

Burt, get out

of your basement.

Take your radio.

You and Heather

get up on your roof.

We'll talk later.

Okay? Over.

Up on the roof?

Val, what are you

talking about?

Damn it, Burt.

Just listen to him.

Something's wrong.

Burt, Jesus Christ!

Get up on your roof!

The things!

They're under the ground.

They're bigger

than we thought.

They're huge.

They're coming

right after you guys.

They're coming right now!

We don't see

anything, Val.

What the hell are you

talking about? Over.

Burt, they're

under the ground.

They're under the ground.

They can dig like

a son of a b*tch.

Big monsters!

Underground!

Now get out!

Hurry!

Jesus Christ!

Burt, come on.

Magazine!

Here!

Here!

Broke into the wrong

goddamn rec room

didn't you, you bastard?

We killed it! You got that?

We killed that motherhumper!

Come back.

Well, roger that, Burt.

And congratulations.

Be advised, however,

there are two more.

Repeat, two more

motherhumpers.

Burt got one!

He killed one!

Way to go, dude!

All right!

Yes! Yes!

Well, l guess we don't

get to make fun of Burt's

lifestyle anymore, huh?

Say, Burt?

Any chance you can

get the other two?

Come back.

Yeah. One second, pal.

You didn't get penetration

even with the elephant gun.

Sh*t!

Good Lord !

Val, we can't get them.

l never figured on

having to shoot

through dirt.

The best goddamn

bullet stop there is.

Come back.

Let me see that.

Burt, listen.

Forget shooting them.

Tell me this.

Can you get

to your truck?

Over.

No problem.

Good, 'cause you have the

only truck in the valley

that can get up

that jeep trail.

Now listen.

Here's the plan.

You and Heather

go for help.

You get to the mountains

and keep going. . .

Guys! You guys!

Come over.

Hang on a sec.

He's up to something.

Well, if it isn't our

old pal, stumpy.

Bastard.

Hey, Rhonda.

What do you think

it's trying to do now?

Why do you keep asking me?

What the. . .

Gee! Wow.

What the hell was that?

Breaker there, Earl.

What did you want us to do?

Come back.

Hang on, Burt.

This bastard's

trying something new.

Over.

They wasn't

making no noise.

Why is he

bothering them for?

Well, it's like it's

studying the buildings,

trying to figure them out.

They can feel our vibrations

but they can't find us.

Looks to me like

they're coming up

with a plan.

Watch it, Nestor!

Jesus!

Sh*t! Enough !

Get off the ground,

Nestor! Get moving !

Get out of there!

Get off the ground !

Move it! Move it!

No, Nestor.

That's no good.

Come on,

you gotta get higher.

No way! No way, man !

No! You guys

gotta do something !

You gotta do something !

Burt, Heather?

Yeah, you got us, Val.

Come on back. Over.

Listen, we're in

deep sh*t over here.

We'll have to

change that plan.

Burt, cut it out!

l think l scared him.

No use going for help.

We'd be dead long before
